Jaymor Industries Ltd are able to supply heavy duty handpiece grips made form sand-cast aluminium. The grips are finished with a hard-wearing powdercoat paint which can be tailored to the customers requirements.

The ergonomic shape of the grip has been designed specifically for applications where prolonged and repetative use is required. The face plate of the grip is able to comfortably house 7 Otto P9 style pushbuttons and can either be constructed from reverse-engraved plastic, or 2mm stainless steel for harsher environments. There is also facility for a button to be mounted in the 'trigger' position, which is often useful for applications requiring two buttons to be pressed at one time.

The face plate of the grips are custom designed to allow each button function to be clearly labelled, and also to allow for the use of other button footprints if the standard configurations are not suitable.

The JC6000 heavy-duty wobblestick is available in several configurations. The customer is able to specify the output type to be either a standard wiper potentiometer or non-contact Hall Effect. Being non-contact, the Hall Effect option is very popular in high-use applications, offering a much longer life span (rated at 15 million operations). Both versions are able to have additional micro-switch outputs for each axis of travel.

Jaymor can supply the JC6000 base as a bare unit with no hand grip, with one of the standard plastic handles from Penny & Giles (as pictured), or with one of our own heavy duty handpiece grips. The wiring for the buttons of the handle are wired down through the base and are accessible from one of the connectors on the bottom of the wobblestick. This makes it simple to replace the base quickly and easily should there ever be a problem.

There are many options for the JC6000 base from number of axis (either single of double), to spring weight. Jaymor has also developed a Joystick Interface Module which provides additional flexibility, allowing for voltage, current, relay or PWM output signals from either the potentiometer or Hall Effect models.

Some applications do not require the feel and travel of a full-sized wobblestick base. Where the operator is only likely to make slight movements to control a system, or where space is at a premium, some of the smaller joystick options can prove more appropriate.

Typically the smaller joystick controllers are only available in either microswitch or potentiometer track versions, however with the addition of the Jaymor Joystick Interface Module, they can still offer much flexibility.

Jaymor have several joystick options available from various suppliers and are confident of providing a solution to meet the customer's needs, whatever the application may be.

Jaymor has developed an electronic control module especially for interfacing to the most common joystick configurations. Capable of taking a signal from each axis of an XY joystick, the JIM module can be programmed to provide the desired output via a PC or laptop. The user is able to set swiching levels for relays, or customise the response of an analog or PWM model. This may include allowing for a deadband on the output, or adding a non-linear knick in the response.

The powerful JIM Module requires a 9 to 36VDC supply and is available in four models, each with a different output type:

• Relay output only (up to 4 outputs)
• Relay + analog voltage (0 to 10VDC or +/-10VDC)
• Relay + analog current (up to 100mA per channel)
• Relay + PWM (up tp 30VDC)

As the JIM will accept an input signal of either 0 to 5VDC (for Hall effect), 0 to 10VDC, or up to +/-10VDC, it has prooven useful in many other applications as a voltage to current converter, or voltage to PWM module.
